How Calum Scott uses that range
Everything here is legato: Calum joins notes with portamento-smooth onsets, swells through the middle of long tones, and releases with a taper instead of a cut. The money register is a cried, head-leaning mix in the fifth octave, flipping into pure falsetto for peaks. Vibrato is wide and emotional. Students copying him often start phrases at full volume; he begins small, which makes the climb audible and keeps the top from sounding pushed.
